@torgo is not great, obviously. But allow me to point out an obvious little thing here – just about any technology can be used for evil. This has been a fact since the invention of fire, or the wheel.

@troglobit @torgo

of course but the bulk of AI out of the gate is plutocrat political and economic agendas

so the theoretical observation that any technology can be used for good or evil has no meaning

the realistic observation is that AI as it exists today is a plutocrat tool to our detriment

until that changes, AI is shit

ignoring the reality to allude to some theoretical possibility is not accurate

@benroyce wow, that’s a very black or white attitude. Although I’m on your side ideologically, I’m thankful it’s not people like yourself that brought us out of the dark ages.

AI is useful and it’s a tool like anything else. Yes, we’ve tried to abolish and stop people from using and even knowing about science and tools before. Remember what happened? We learned that it’s the ideas and values that make us what we are.

joachim:

you're not stupid. you understand the bulk of AI is plutocrat controlled and malicious in intent

you can castigate me all you want. for the crime of what? understanding the real problem?

all that is revealed is that your naivete or willful dishonesty about the dominant problem with AI is profound

why would you do that? do you think people can't see what you're doing? that's embarrassing. do you not see what you're doing? that's far more embarrassing

@benroyce honey,

Get real. You are generalising to bring home what you think is the point. Yet you’re talking about explosives and the theory of nuclear physics in terms of good or bad. That’s what it looks like from the outside, and it’s not looking good.

I’m sorry, but this is where I’m getting off. This is a polarising issue and it’s blinding a lot of people. Take care.

@torgo

@troglobit @torgo

you insist that AI can do good, which i have already acknowledged

that's not the point

the dominant issue with AI is its plutocrat control

by me making this observation to you, you get upset

😂

for my simple true observation, you experience an emotional point of departure?

that's ridiculous

and, i'm sorry (well, not really), it's kind of funny

you're not a serious person on this topic joachim

you tell me to a plastic "take care", i tell you stop being a fucking clown

@benroyce @torgo I hope you have family and friends to take care of you ❤️ obviously we don’t agree but I feel your response (as a native English speaker) is overly very harsh and fills me with a lot of sadness. Yet I hold no anger towards you, because in the end, you know I’m right.
@troglobit @benroyce @torgo I thought when you wrote "I’m sorry, but this is where I’m getting off." you would stop replying in this thread.

@jablkoziemne @troglobit @torgo

the contrast between word and behavior makes sense for a rational person

but perhaps for a chatbot the phrase at hand is just another probabilistically determined markov chain word salad having been trained on people arguing pointlessly
